One purpose of the dinner is to make the
- In 1985, RI initiated a partnership with the 166 nations of the World Health Assembly with a resolution to eradicate polio. At that time poliovirus was circulating in 125 countries, paralyzing or killing 350,000 persons per year.
- The National Immunization Day strategy has been the primary worldwide method for achieving this success.
The work of eradicating polio is not yet done. Rotary International has received a $100 million matching grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for that purpose, and has asked each of its clubs, numbering 32,800 worldwide, to contribute $3,000 over the next three years. RI has asked clubs to raise their share of funds by polio-specific community-level fundraising efforts, and that is the second purpose of the dinner and presentation. All net proceeds from this event will be contributed to Rotary International’s Gates Foundation Match.
